| This
special brings together young people, parents and a certified
alcohol and drug counselor to discuss early warning signs,
risk factors, and how addiction affects the entire family.
Family support remains a critical portion of this recovery
process. The panel will also discuss how families work through
this challenging process. Teens that have graduated from
Daytop, an addiction treatment facility for adolescents,
talk candidly about their extraordinary personal experiences
with drug and alcohol and how they have fought their way
back to sobriety and a drug free existence. Viewers get
an intimate look at parents and their emotional struggles
with guilt, shame. The panel conveys the message that drug
abuse can be prevented and addiction is a treatable disease.
